"California Lawmaker Targets Ticketmaster Monopoly with New Bill"

Assemblymember Buffy Wicks has introduced Assembly Bill 2808 in California, aiming to promote competition in the ticket market and reduce Ticketmaster's dominance. The bill seeks to ensure fair access to multiple ticketing agencies, potentially leading to lower ticket prices and fees for consumers. Ticketmaster has opposed the bill, arguing that it could undermine efforts to combat ticket scalping, while supporters believe it will bring more transparency and better service to ticket buyers.
